Beach overall scores
Playa Montana Arena (Las Palmas) is located outside the El Pajar settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.
The beach stretches on the coast of the Gran Canaria, but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.
User reviews
"That place is a decent alternative to Maspalomas, but it's a bit of a trek to get there. It takes about ten minutes to walk from the car park or bus stop, and there's a bit of climbing involved - nothing too strenuous, but it can be tiring. The north wind is blocked off by the cliffs, but it's still not the most sheltered spot."

"This beach is absolutely stunning. Don't take any chances with your belongings - I made the mistake of leaving my items in a rental car, only to have them stolen. Be safe and keep your possessions close."
